Ok. New nqc-alpha RPMs on (URL). If you downloaded the older release, I suggest re-installing the stable version and then adding the new alpha package. PS -- I'd appreciate reports of systems on which these RPMs work. I just tried it on Mandrake (...) (24 years ago, 6-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) There is an "obsoletes" tag I could set on the final release. (So nqc final obsoletes nqc-alpha and nqc-beta.) But I need to check that it works with versions -- I wouldn't want nqc final 2.2 to obsolete nqc-alpha 2.3. (24 years ago, 6-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Preliminary NQC support for RCX 2.0 is now available in NQC version 2.2a1. Its in the beta test area of the NQC site: (URL) have been a lot of changes internal to the compiler itself, and RCX 2.0 support is only partially complete at the moment, but (...)
